Master of the steep and deep.

Calling the snowy steeps and precarious lines of the Tetons home, Bryan Iguchi takes his powerful style to North America's freeride playground. Inspired by this stunning alpine environment, the Arbor Bryan Iguchi Pro Rocker Snowboard excels at taking a freestyle approach to the biggest and baddest lines you can find. It's a mid-flexing directional twin, with a Kucklehead tip for extra float. The slightly tapered shape sinks the rear end, preventing the nose from submerging in fresh snow. And unlike traditional powder boards with huge set-backs, the Iguchi Pro rocks a centered stance that's perfectly balanced for hucking cliffs, skipping across pillows, and stomping switch.

New for this season, the Iguchi Pro is offered in this System Rocker version for a surfy, more effortless sensation in the deep stuff. This profile is based on a parabolic rocker, meaning the upturned curve is most pronounced in the center, becoming more mellow as you work toward the tip and tail. This upturned profile not only excels on those bottomless days, but it's also a great way to add a looser, catch-free personality desired by freestyle riders. And because rocker boards often sacrifice grip and control on hardpack, Arbor counteracts this with its Grip Tech. This sidecut places two extra contact points along each edge, easily slicing into variable conditions and hardpack snow.

Arbor's signature Ash Power Ply topsheet is immediately noticeable with its striking aesthetic that's perfectly at home in the mountains. The Double Barrel core runs two bamboo struts from tip-to-tail for added power transmission and strength, being especially useful for snapping off natural hits and stomping big landings. Mixed glassing is Arbor's most versatile fiberglass lay-up, offering just enough torsional flex without it being too soft for charging. As expected for a board that likes to haul, the sintered base keeps you gliding across flats and cruising across deep snow without bogging down.
